Description:
UUID is not implemented or functioning in 5.0.0-alpha on Windows XP.

How to repeat:
Install 5.0.0-alpha with all default options.
Start mysql client.
SELECT UUID();

On 4.1.3 this feature works as expected.  On 5.0.0 an error in the SQL statement is reported.

Suggested fix:
Implement in 5.0.1.

The reason is that when 5.0.0 was released that function isn't
present in 4.1.XX. In the next release the 5.0 source tree will
be updated.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has already been fixed
in the latest released version of that product, which you can download at 
http://www.mysql.com/downloads/

Additional info:

UUID() was implemented in MySQL 4.1.2, which was released
after 5.0.0. It's in the 5.0 source tree now and will be included
in 5.0.1.
